I find this so annoying , I cannot criticise people who would gladly kill me but people will get offended on my behalf about things I do not care about.

If you don't want to sell me a cake I'll feel mildly inconvenienced and take my money elsewhere, its a poor business decision but its your choice.

we have the ADA which says you need to have wheelchair accessible ramps to get in buildings, including private businesses. There is precedent, so you can't just say you won't sell things to handicapped people. So can we sell we won't sell things to gay people? I think you can't do that to any people. Even if you want to when it would be bad for business. These businesses do get benefits from the govt, of course they pay taxes in order to deserve that. We also have food inspectors coming into restaurants making sure they are clean and I actually support that. Years ago we had the Jungle written about food conditions and I'm glad govt stepped in.

In pretty sure the argument and legal cases weren't about where or not businesses have the right to not sell things to gay people.

They were more about whether a mad Christian should have to make a cake which says "Gay marriage is great" on the top.

There's an enforced speech aspect, which is why cases have gone both ways in the courts.

There is free speech restrictions where you can't say fire in a theater, I imagine you can't say some kind of violent thing on a cake. If they ask them to say gay marriage is great on a cake, how is that different than saying "congrats to steve and dave for getting married" That is the kind of thing they didn't want to put on a cake and sell. That cake busioness regularly sells cakes that have things like "congrats to dave and jane for getting married" so why not the other one. Cuz of religious beliefs? Not valid. There are plenty of religions out there with different beliefs and how do you let each one govern business. This is tough to decide, and truthfully the supreme court punted on it and it can't be used for precedent.
